Here's to a day whose real reason is lost on so many, buried under one-day sales and family get-togethers. If I could ask for one thing today, it would be that everyone have a chance to experience freedom in some measure.
This blog is dedicated to the sites, stories, and situations that describe and affect railroading in the Pacific Northwest! We enjoy sharing photos and news links that impact our daily lives in terms of rail. This region is an exciting place for the railroad enthusiast, once you accept the gray skies and wet tracks. There's lots to see once you know where to find it. We invite you to stop by to see what we've been up to and what we have to share. Use the blue toolbar at the top of the screen to search this blog for articles pertinent to your interests.
Thanks for stopping by!

Kurt Clark
Bellevue, WA, United States
Kurt is a perpetual gearhead; he has been riding a bicycle since 1970, working on a car since 1978, and riding a motorcycle since 1986. He usually has 3 or 4 mechanical projects going at a time, plus a houseful of things that need to be fixed. He's also a habitual sketcher, drawing pictures of cars, airplanes, and trains in pen and pencil since he was four years old. Kurt and his wife are life-long Pacific Northwesterners and WSU Cougars to the core. When he's not doing technical support or working on his `59 Chevy Biscayne, Kurt is camping, watching movies, or photographing trains and railroad subjects with his sons David and Jack.
